Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

murder

I am doing a paper for College, I have a few questions if you dont mind. 1-Is there a limit on being charges with first degree murder? If the person who shot people killed hisself, can the parents have a wrongful lawsuit brought against them from the victims families?
